Offline Mode: Sync Publishing #22689

kean · 2024-02-23T01:56:36Z

To test:

Important

Make sure to enable the .offlineMode feature flag.

Tap "+" to create a new post
Add content and tap "Publish"
Verify that the pre-publishing sheet is shown
Tap "Publish"
Verify that that sheet is disabled and can't be dismissed during publishing
Verify that if request fails, a snackbar is shown (note: it should not have a "Retry" button)
Verify that if request succeed, the editor is dismissed

This is the only scenario that is now officially supported. We'll need more tests, including automated test in the future PRs.

WordPress/Classes/Models/BasePost.h

 /**
 BOOL flag set to true if the post is first time published.
+
+ - note: Deprecated (kahu-offline-mode)


I suggest using this marker for anything that's scheduled for removal once the project is live. I'm not "officially"deprecating these APIs to avoid polluting the project with warnings.

WordPress/Classes/Services/PostCoordinator.swift

+    ///
+    /// - warning: Work-in-progress (kahu-offline-mode)
+    @MainActor
+    func _publish(_ post: AbstractPost) async throws {


I'm underscoring the methods that are work-in-progress and are only designed to be used in the scope of the project. It also helps avoid the name conflicts.

WordPress/Classes/Services/PostCoordinator.swift

+            notifyNewPostPublished()
+        }
+        SearchManager.shared.indexItem(post)
+        AppRatingUtility.shared.incrementSignificantEvent()


Everything non-editor related is now handled by PostCoordinator to allow you to safely publish outside of the editor.

Noting that it no longer sets post.shouldAttemptAutoUpload = true and no longer uses isFirstTimePublish which should never have been part of the model layer.

WordPress/Classes/Services/PostRepository.swift

+    ///
+    /// - warning: Work-in-progress (kahu-offline-mode)
+    @MainActor
+    func _upload(_ parameters: RemotePost, for post: AbstractPost) async throws {


parameters: RemotePost – this will definitely change, but the idea is that by bringing back synchronous operations, we need a way to:

Send the request with new parameters without updating the database to make sure there is nothing to revert if it fails

Be able to send only what's changes and that's coming in the next scopes

WordPress/Classes/Services/PostRepository.swift

+                post = original
+            }
+            PostHelper.update(post, with: uploadedPost, in: context)
+            PostService(managedObjectContext: context)


This method, including updateMediaFor is pretty much one-to-one replacement to the Objective-C version from PostService that Tony replaced with PostRepository.

updateMediaFor is an odd one. It set the postID for assets, but it makes little scene because asset->post is a one-to-many relationship.

WordPress/Classes/ViewRelated/Post/PostEditor+Publish.swift

-        let viewController = PrepublishingViewController(post: post, identifiers: prepublishingIdentifiers) { [weak self] result in
-            switch result {
-            case .completed(let post):
-                self?.post = post


This was a no-op because the post instance never changes.

Works as described!

I wonder if we should continue showing the success notice message when creating a post/page from the FAB. IMO I don't think the implicit indication of closing the editor is enough - I'd expect to see some explicit indication that the post was uploaded (if I'm on the My Site screen).

Approving to unblock - lmk what you think of adding an explicit message to acknowledge a successful upload for the FAB flow.

Test cases for notifications:

Success (Notice)

Publish a post
Verify that a success notice is shown with a "View" button
Tap "View" and verify that the success screen is shown

Success (Local Notification)

Tap "Publish" and quickly close the app
Verify that a success local notification is shown
Note: tapping on it just opens the post list

Failure (Notice)

When connection is down
Tap "Publish"
Verify that a failure notice is shown with no buttons

Failure (Local Notification)

When connection is down
Tap "Publish" and quickly close the app
Verify that a failure local notification is shown
